Half day rafting

Our most popular whitewater activity
Adrenaline

Physical condition

Scenary

Whitewater rafting tour on the emerald green Soca river is the most popular activity in Soča valley, Bovec, Slovenia. Not just because of the quality of the rapids and the adrenaline, but also because of it's beauty. Unforgettable experience for fun-adrenaline seekers as well as for families with young kids.

Our half day whitewater rafting tour runs on the most challenging section of Soča river. We paddle, slaloming through a boulder garden of a scenic gorge. You can enjoy splashy class II-III whitewater, crystal clean, emerald green water. Be prepared to get wet!

Nobody stays dry, for sure!

Each boat carries max. 8 people + our professional licenced guide who controls the boat, but to run all the technical rapids, it is a teamwork! During the tour we would like to make some stops, jumping from rocks, enjoying the slides on the buttom of our raft. In the end of the rafting tour you can try swimming in an easy rapid, to feel how powerful can be white water rivers.

Please note, that swimming ability is required from all the participant, and you can not take part on the tour if you are under the influence of drogs, alcohol or if you are pregnant due to safety reasons.

Csaszi is one of the owner, working every day on the river, part of every tour, so definitely you will meet him! He has more than 24 years of guiding experience. He was working as raft guide and kayak instructor in Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, and as a safety kayaker in Chile. He loves kayaking. He was kayaking in many European countries, and recently made Kayak Expeditions in Peru (Rio Cotahuasi - 5 days, Rio Colca - 2 days, Rio Apurimac 3 days, and Rio Maranon 10 days.) He has a good sense of humor and very patient with our guests. In his freetime (when he is not kayaking:) he goes mountain biking (his brand new passion), canyoning, hiking with his family or sewing professional canyoning bags.

In her freetime (as a mum of 2 kids, there's not a lot of it..) she goes hiking up to the mountains, riding a bike, ski touring and ski running in the winter. She also does kayaking on Soča river, but her main passion is sea kayaking. She made longer tours in Indonesia (Raja Ampat, Papua) and in Europe (Croatian, Italy, Albania)

Laci is a master of rafting. Friendly, enthusiastic, well trained guide. He was a flatwater canoe competitor in his childhood, later collected guiding experiences in Austria, Slovenia and India (Ganges). He made many bike tours all over the world, and he was also an athlete in rafting competitions. When he has a couple of free hours, he goes kayaking or mountain biking or just checking air plane ticket prices:) With more freetime, he does canyoning, here in Slovenia or in Italy ( Belluno, Friuli Dolomites). He likes visiting beautiful (like Maggiore), as well as really technical canyons (like Arsino) to extend his knowledge. In his freetime We are glad to know him in our team.
